This document discusses the potential benefits of using unmanned systems in US agriculture. It notes that the agriculture industry is facing challenges with decreasing labor resources and increasing production costs and revenues. Unmanned systems could provide more efficient, cost-effective and safer solutions through applications like precision spraying, crop monitoring, and livestock counting. The document cites studies showing unmanned systems can increase yields and decrease costs through targeted resource application. International examples show crops are already using unmanned helicopters for pest control. Overall, the industry appears poised to benefit economically and see job creation by adopting unmanned technologies.
A confluence of factors have converged to afford the opportunity to apply data science at large scale to agricultural production. The demand for agricultural outputs is growing and there is a need to meet this demand by utilizing increasingly mechanized precision agriculture and enormous data volumes collected to intelligently optimize agriculture outputs. We will consider the machine learning challenges related to optimizing global food production.

The use of pesticides in agriculture is essential to maintain the quality of large scale production. The spraying of these products by using aircraft speeds up the process and prevents compacting of the soil. However, adverse weather conditions e.g. the speed and direction of the wind can impair the effectiveness of the spraying of pesticides in a target crop field. Thus, there is a risk that the pesticide can drift to neighboring crop fields. It is believed that a large amount of all the pesticide used in the world drifts outside of the target crop field and only a small amount is effective in controlling pests. However, with increased precision in the spraying, it is possible to reduce the amount of pesticide used and improve the quality of agricultural products as well as mitigate the risk of environmental damage. In the past several years, UAV has been extensively used in agriculture. However, the efficiency is still not as high as desired and the phenomenon of pesticide pollution is still existing. This is mainly because of the following two problems 1 the autonomy of most existing UAV system is still very limited. Actually, most of them are still operated through remote controlling. 2 the UAVs operating precision is not high enough due to the low accuracy flight control near the plants.

Design of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) for Agricultural Purposesvivatechijri
: In the present age, there are a lot of improvement in precision agriculture for augmenting the
crop productivity. Especially, in the developing countries like India, more than 70% of the rural people
depends upon the agriculture fields. The agriculture faces striking losses due to the diseases. These
diseases came from the pests and insets, therefore productivity of crops is attenuated. Pesticides and
fertilizers are used to eradicate the insects and pests in order to enhance the crop quality. The WHO
(World Health Organization) estimated as one million cases of ill effected, when spraying the pesticides in
the crop filed manually. The Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) – aircrafts are used to spray the pesticides to
avoid the health problems of humans when they spray manually. UAVs can be used easily, where the
equipment and labors difficulty to operate. This paper reviews briefly the implementation of UAVs for
pesticide spraying.Various parameters like temperature, humidity, rain, etc affect the production rate of
crops. Which are natural factors and not in farmers control. The field of agriculture is also depends on
some of factors like pests, disease, fertilizers, etc which can be control by giving proper treatment to
crops. Pesticides may increase the productivity of crops but it also affects on human health. The Exposure
effects can range from mild skin irritation to birth defects, tumors, genetic changes, blood and nerve
disorders, endocrine disruption, coma or death. This research paper will show how UAVs can reduce
human efforts in various operations of agriculture like spraying of pesticides, spraying of fertilizers, etc.
Where dense and very tall rows of crops are in place it is difficult to quickly access centrally located
crops on foot or by land vehicle without damaging some crops in the process, but these areas can be
safely and rapidly over flown by light weight drone aircraft with no damage to crops.In this research
paper we propose a design of the model, which will spray fertilizers and pesticides which can be
controlled by remote controller. The model will be a Hexacopter UAV with spraying mechanism. The
frame of Hexacopter will be made of Hollow Aluminium pipe with carbon fibre rods inside it which will
make the frame light weight and the strength of frame will increase. The arms of Hexacopter are foldable
hence the drone becomes compact in size. The spraying mechanism consist of a 2L tank, pump and 4 nozzles
for effective spraying, resulting in convenience to the farmers
Global precision agriculture market analysis & forecast (2014 2022)BIS Research
Precision Farming is an area of farming techniques associated with management of variability of soil, nutrients, water, crop and environmental factors. In conventional agriculture practices, fields subject to farming are considered to be uniform and thus applied with uniform rates of agrochemicals and fertilizers. The world population is estimated to hit the 9 billion mark by the year 2050. With per capita arable land decreasing by the day due to rapidly increasing population, efficient agricultural techniques are the need of the hour. Precision Agriculture presents significant potential in enhancing food productivity while at the same time providing sustainable management of resources. The global precision farming market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 13.09% from 2015 to 2022, to reach over $6.43 billion by 2022.

Agricultural and environmental researchers traditionally work with large data sets and have through time developed their ways to handle scenarios involving massive data. Current developments in ICT and (big) data science potentially provide innovative and more effective ways to do this. However there are numerous barriers and pitfalls, sometimes unknown to ICT professionals, that cause initiatives to be less successful than possible. The presentation provides an overview of the current state-of-play regarding the position of Big Data in agro-environmental research, experiences from several projects and a (non-exhaustive) summary of do’s and don’ts and challenges for successfully applying Big Data technologies in this domain.
Communicating Effectively During Transitions – Managing Turbulence and Dilemm...milfamln
This webinar explores some of the challenges military families may face as they undergo transitions (e.g., deployments, reunions, relocations). On the one hand, transitions can create a sense of turbulence where family members are uncertain about their relationships and have trouble coordinating their routines. On the other hand, transitions also can create dilemmas where family members are faced with competing goals. Communicating effectively during transitions involves recognizing that turbulence and dilemmas are natural and learning how to manage them. Rather than offering simple recipes (e.g., “just talk about it”), the webinar will explore why certain ways of communicating may be more or less effective during transitions. The webinar also will identify programs and resources that may be helpful to professionals who work with military families in transition.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
